25 Random Things About You...

[soccergurl3]

1.The only pet that I have ever had besides a hamster, was a dog that I only got to keep for 4 days because my mom discovered she was allergic.

 

2.I travelled to England when I was 4 and for some reason the only things I remember, was that every corner in London had a candy store and every Park had trampolines.....I guess these are things only kids would remember.Oh yah and I rode the wooden rollercoaster the day before it crashed and killed the people in the first 3 cars. Every one else ended up breaking their noses and sued for 2 Million pounds each!

 

3. When I was a kid I used to have a huge sticker collection. I had 2 full albums of smelly stickers, 1 album of fuzzy, 1 album of fish ( my dad loves fish so i thought i would make an album for him) and a whole lot more. It took my aunt one day, 3 hours to count them all for me!

 

4.I got a pretty bad brain injury when I was younger.Apparently I was walking along the side of the pool deck when a kid threw a ball out and I slipped on it and banged my head on the pool deck and rolled into the pool. I started drowning. All I remember is waking up in the cat scan afterwards! And now I have really bad short term memory loss, especially when I get stressed!

 

5.I met the love of my life in a call center...how romantic<3 LOL He ended up playing soccer for my High School because his school didn't have a team....It all started from there!

 

6.I used to complain all the time about my mom braiding my hair in the morning. She used to pull it back so tight...I used to have really curly (Nappy) hair as my aunts like to call it. So one day she got fed up and told the hairdresser to cut it all off. So i pretty much looked like a boy for 2 to 3 years of my life

 

7.I have a really bad movie obsession. Especially with scary or action movies. I used to watch 3-5 movies a week! When I first met Nathan he told me that he wasn't really in to the whole movie thing so I told him that he better get used to it or the relationship would never work LOL!

 

8.I have gotten into 3 car accidents in my life time:

1) In High School when my ex rear-ended the janitor's van....so embarrasing

2) When the guy in front of me stopped all of a sudden on the whitemud and I rear-ended him...*blush*

3)In October when a guy decided to turn right into my driver's side door!

 

9.I absolutely love to play sports and in my lifetime I have played competitive soccer, volleyball, basketball,track and field, handball, cross-country, flag football and swimming...I think I am obssesed!

 

10. I love music and I don't know where my life would be without it. I love Hip-hop, R & B some country and pretty much anything you can dance to except rock, techno and emo crap. One of my fondest memories of my dad was listening to sam cooke in our living room and dancing to it. I also used to play the clarinet in High School...band geek I know lol

 

11. My Parents have been divorced and have been ever since I was 8. It was extremely devastating for me and it tore our whole family apart. That's why I am absolutely against divorce, when I get married it will be for life!

 

12.I am an extremely open person and sometimes a little too open. I can sometimes tell a complete stranger my whole life story. Just ask my english 10 class about confirmation on that one lol!

 

13.I fall in love extremely easy! Especially with Nathan right now, he said it after 3 weeks!

 

14. I have alot of pet peeves about people: guys that think they are manly and unbutton their shirts so you can see their chest hair...eww GROSS! Girls that paint their eyebrows on, guys who wear eyeliner, people that slurp food and by far the worst...people who scrape their teeth on their forks when they eat!!

 

15. I have a extremely bad phobia of spiders. It all started a few years ago when I went camping with my parents to the Okanagen. Their was a guy that i became friends with at our campsite and he wanted to show me a spider he found. When he showed me, he told me to take a stick and poke it's back. So I did and hundreds of baby spiders dispersed off it's back. I constantly get nightmares about tarantulas jumping on me. Nathan and I went to East Side Marios for dinner last year and their was spider decorations everywhere. I was shaking I was so scared...I know pathetic considering they were fake!

 

16.I have a Beautiful son named Jayden Nate Reddy. He was born on Septemeber 21st, 2006 and he is one of the most amazing things to have ever happened to my life! He's a true blessing!

 

17.I have been deathly afraid of needles for as long as I can remember. I usually start sweating, my whole body shakes and I ususally pass out. I remember I needed blood test one time before I was able to be dismissed from the hospital. My mom flat out told the nurse that it would never happen ...so we left! I avoid needles all that i can, and have passed out watching people give blood.

 

18. I went into early labour when I was almost 5 months pregnant. I still remember my nurse saying that the chances are slim to none for survival if I had this baby, especially because I was only showing slightly at that point. They tried to stop the labour and ended up flying me to North Vancouver via helicopter because they didn't have the facilities to give birth to such a premature baby. Nathan of course said it was the coolest ride ever!

 

19. I get criticised all the time for not trying new food. Everytime I go to a restaurant I order the same thing on the menu. The way I look at it ,if you know you like something why try something different at the chance you will hate it! Before Nathan I have never tried, Japenese, authentic chinese, South African, indian or Korean food.

 

20. I have 1 brother, 2 step-brothers and 1 half-sister. Confusing mixed family, I know!

 

21. I knocked my two front teeth out when I was younger. I was doing back dives off of a mat at Hardisty Swimming pool, when I dove too deep and nailed my face on the bottom of the pool. When I came up it looked like a bullet went through my top teeth.I have knocked them out in sports 5-6 times after that.

 

22.I am an extremely romantic person and I take every oppurtunity to blow every occasion right up and make it absolutely special and memorable. And I am a complete cuddle slut!

 

23. I have the most amazing friends in the world . We have been through so much laughing and crying together over the years. I don't know where i would be without them!!!

 

24.I am a complete hopeless romantic and cry pretty much at every sappy movie! The Notebook gets me everytime....5 or 6 times lol. I even got tears at the bridal show, how pathetic am I !

 

25. I am getting married to the love of my life in Cancun Mexico on July 15th 2009. We wanted something completely memorable to share with friends and family! I can't believe it is so close!!!<3 him!

Ok, bored at work, so here I go....

 

1. I met my DH at a pub. He approached me and we began talking about our parents. Before we knew it, we found out that my mom and his parents all grew up in the same town in Mexico (tiny town, amazing any one knows of it).

4. My parents separated when I was 12 got back together a year later, then seperated again when I was 22, divorced when I was 25 and they are still the best of friends. I think they needed to end their marriage to work on their relationship. I think they are working things out now.

17. I feel old now that I'm married. 99% of all my friends are still single and I feel left out sometimes.

 

18. I need to buy a another car. I have a two seater right now and not very baby-friendly.

20. I'm addicted to my iphone

Here is mine... Slightly edited from fb... I am more free to say some stuff here than with people that "know" me.

 

1. I have been tagged in so many of these that I just had to do it.

 

2. I have a bridezilla in me and she is just waiting to come out. Don't mess with my wedding.

 

3. I lived in Bolivia during my middle school years. I hated it then, but now I want to go back and visit my old friends!

 

4. 2 and a half Long Islands is the perfect amount of alcohol for me. It took a lot of trial and error to figure that out.

 

5. I have many dream jobs. The include fashion designer, photographer, social worker, teacher, counselor, architect, etc. I have concluded that I want to help people.

 

6. I have never broken a bone.

 

7. I can't sleep with any lights or noise. I get up with the sun.

 

8. I don't party every possible night or every weekend. I would rather be home with Gabe.

 

9. I am a couponer and I have enough shampoo, conditioner, razors, toothpaste, pain relievers and foil paper to get me through the rest of my life. I actually didn't do any couponing for about 6 months last year bc I had no more room for my stockpile.

 

10. I can hide my feelings very well. I have mastered the art of deception.

 

11. I really wanted to learn Photoshop, but then piratebay gave me hundreds of dollars worth of cool actions I can use instead.

 

12. I like designing stuff and am a DIY bride.

 

13. I started a "buisness" just to get wholesale prices.

 

14. I don't add people on fb that have not been a friend to me at some point in my life.

 

15. Gabe can make me smile at any time of the day.

 

16. I like watching Degrassi, 90210 and Secret Life of the American Teenager.

 

17. I h8 it wen ppl type in "IM slang" (dun really kno wat its called)

 

18. My parents are the best parents I could ever have. I have put them through hell and back and they still stood by side.

 

19. I hate debt. I freak out if my credit cards start to run up. Thank you daddy!

 

20. I started drinking alcohol when I was 12. When I was 13 I ran away when I was drunk and met some random guy who got me a hotel room to stay in for the night. That is why my parents moved me back to the US from Bolivia. A year after we moved back to the US, I got in with the wrong crowd again and started doing whatever drug was in front of me. Luckily, I was never addicted to anything and stoped when I met me FI. I seriously think he saved me life.

 

21. I don't need people that have hurt me or piss me off in my life. I have no problems cutting people out. Just ask my mom's sister and her piece of shit husband. Ironically, 2 people that I could have forgiven and tried to make it up to me died (one in a car accident and one commited suicide). I feel partially responsible for my friend that commited suicide. I knew he was depressed and we used to talk about his problems. Maybe he just needed to talk to me again. I think about both of my friends every day.

 

22. With that said. I have learned to stand up for myself and what is best for me and my family since i got pregnant with Gabe.

 

23. Shutterfly wanted to persue legal actions against me

 

24. One day I will be rich and I will buy my parents a big house and then open up a luxury resort in Coroico and live there and get away from this sleep-work mentality of the US.

 

25. I always wanted to go backpacking through South America.
